LED Grow Lights

LED lights consist of hundreds or more of tiny semi-conductors that are known as diodes. For horticultural practices, LED lights normally appear as purple. They are highly efficient, cooler than HID light fixtures and utilize less energy. At GrowDudes, we have a variety of LED light fixtures and they include:

• Spider farmer LED grow lights
• Rayonled foldable medical light
• Rayonled greenhouse fixture
• Mars Hydro TS Series
• Lightspeed Pro Cosmic LED
• Lightstick LED grow lights

LEDs discharge higher-intensity illumination which ensures maximum indoor crop growth. This fixture is specially-designed to optimize crop propagation during the growing as well as blooming phases of plant cultivation. These fixtures feature several innovative aspects that are designed to assist gardeners achieve low operating costs as well as make their hydroponic businesses more profitable.

The advantage of using LED grow lights is that they offer full spectrum LED illumination that is natural and well-balanced. The illumination is also more uniform than MH and HPS lighting. They also come with a dimmer that allows gardeners to control illumination of light during crucial phases of growth to avoid harming sensitive crops, and extend the grow light's lifecycle.

Growing delicious vegetables during winter is now easier. Grow lights for indoor gardening allow you to cultivate healthy plants irrespective of temperature and seasons. These growing lights not only supplement but also substitute natural sunlight. Although any light may stimulate plant growth, not all lighting will provide the best conditions for healthy plant growth. Grow lights however, stimulate photosynthesis and provide the right spectrum, light quality, duration, and intensity for optimal growth.

Grow lights are available in a wide range of prices, styles, and sizes. This page focuses on the factors to consider when choosing grow lights, types of grow lights, grow lights accessories, top selling brands, and this years' bestseller.

Factors to consider when choosing grow lights

• The space available -It may also include the distance between the grow lights and the plants.
• The economic implications- this includes the overall cost incurred in order to light a given area
• The key grow lights specifications- some grow lights are fit for commercial growers only. In addition to this, different grow lights may produce different color variations.
• Scalability and safety- for vegetative plants, you may need to hang your lights or adjust their height frequently
• Quality and purpose
• Your budget
• Heat and common accessories

Types of grow lights to consider

High intensity discharge grow lights

If you are working on a budget, then the HID grow lights are for you. They have low setup cost and are economical compared to LED lights. Although there are many forms of HID lights available today, Metal Halides and High-Pressure Sodium are the most important ones. They are popular for their brightness and impressive light output. You can use both lights from the seedling stage up to plant maturation. However, they offer best results when alternated, since each type of light has particular color strength. For instance, High-Pressure Sodium is fit for the flowering stage while Metal Halides are effective in the leafy stage.

Tips to note about hid grow lights

• Compared to LED lights, they are more reliable for results- HID grow lights have been used a longer period successfully. This means that there is plenty of information available on the web making it easier to make references
• HID grow lights are affordable- for starters, HID grow lights are more economical. Although the cost difference is relative, the yield per led light is also low
• HID grow lights provide full plant light spectrum- depending on the type of plant, led lights require careful pruning to increase light penetration while pruning is unnecessary for HID grow lights.

Led grow lights

LED is the abbreviation for light emitting diode. The LED grow light comprises of individual diodes, which produce a specific color range. This means that for one led grow light to be effective, it must combine hundreds of diodes. While compared to HID grow light, LED lights are efficient and consume less energy. They also offer cooler operating temperatures.

If you are operating in a technologically advanced area, you can use the led technology controlled using a digital touch screen device. This means that you can select a light spectrum of your choice. In addition to this, you can use the same lights throughout the vegetative and flowering stage without the need to swap lights.

Tips to note about red glow lights

• Led glow light produce less heat- this means that it works well for small-concealed spaces. You will also spend less energy on cooling.
• Led glow light uses less air conditioning- if energy consumption is a major issue to your indoor growing, then these lights will save you the hassle.
• Compared to hid, led are require less maintenance- top quality LEDs can last up to 100,000 hours without the need to change bulbs. However, it is important to adjust the bulb height frequently since they have greater light intensity
